Unapologetic ramblings about all the things that make up my life - family, friends, faith, fabric - ok ran out of things starting with "f" but you get the general idea!

Ho Ho Ho - Merry Christmas!

I love cheesy Christmas commercials that make Christmas day look like something out of a Martha Stewart Living magazine. Ain't the reality much more - well - real? Here is a picture of an annual occurrence in our family. The men crash out after lunch worn out from all that hard work - you know buying all the presents, staying up till midnight wrapping them all, buying all the food, hanging the decorations and trimming the tree, getting the kids scrubbed, dressed and ready for church, setting the table and serving the food and then cleaning it all up afterwards. Huh - what's that? Oh yes - the WOMEN do all that. Which is why this scene always sends my mother's eyeballs rolling heavenward.
